Eagle has taken possession of a defibrillator for the Club. This unit cost €1750, including VAT but a very significant portion of the cost was covered very generously by an Eagle club member who wishes to remain anonymous.
While the practicalities have yet to be worked out, the Club intend deploying the unit at its track training sessions and also at many of its informal training sessions, e.g. Sunday mornings at the Farm. Eagle would also hope to bring it to many races organised by others, just to be on hand if required. The Club also hopes to make the unit available to the AAI County Board for many of that organisation’s events.
We fervently hope that the unit never has to be used “in anger” but the fact that eagle now has its own unit goes a long way in the Club’s efforts to minimise Health & Safety at athletic events involving the Club.
On behalf of the Club, I would like to express our profound gratitude to the donor of the defibrillator.
